Coming out of the paint "booth", I'm very pleased with how the silver and green combo work together. I only picked the silver because it was on the shelf already.

Body sections, looking pretty uneven especially on level of shine, but I never claimed to be an expert. 

And the rear "glass" now installed into the hatch cover, weather stripping glue is looking ugly but I have a plan to clean it up. 

Finally, finally, finally all together! 

just one more part missing. Now if you were to say that the nose of the car resembles a certain someone, maybe a certain muppet, who would it be? 

Green paint + white "eyes" + red "tongue" = Yup! It's Ker-miata the Saab!

Packed up and ready to go!

Since we decided to go with the muppet theme, let's go all out right? 

My brother Josh behind the wheel for Auto-x, He managed to grab a 44.2 - a second faster than my best time, but of course Allen McCracken dusted us both with a 42.440, good enough for 3rd place in GTN$!

We also managed to score 2nd place in the concourse, and ....

Our biggest honor - we won editor's choice award!

What an awesome weekend, So many great folks to meet and talk to, so many cool cars to ogle over, I knew it would be well worth the (13 hours each way) trip!

I'm not far from there. I'm over in Westminster and Codorus a lot. Maybe I'll see Crinkles on a trailer one of these days. :)

You might see him on the road too, it's got plates I just need to buy street tires. 

Or maybe I'll see yeah at the PCA  auto-X in Aberdeen? I'm planning to hit the April 27th one to start.
